In the near future, instead of advertising, corporations own celebrities, who are basically "famous for being famous" and go around conspicuously buying and using the companies' products. One of these is Delphi, a teen girl who's beautiful but brain-dead (literally), and she's controlled cybernetically by a normal girl, whose body has been damaged by a disease.

PYE CORNER AUDIO/NOT WAVING Intercepts split LP

Release date: 28.07.14

'Protect The Revolution' taken from 'Intercepts', a split album between Pye Corner Audio and Not Waving. 

Taking inspiration from the world of espionage, most specifically spy rings, both artists provide four tracks each, creating a thrilling musical call and response between these kindred producers.

Some of the world’s greatest espionage stories involve Spy Rings. From the Rosenbergs to the Cambridge Five and the Duquesne case, these are stories that haunt the annals of the covert world and remain shrouded in mystery and fascination to this day.

Clandestine spirits permeate these eight tracks of dreamlike industrial techno, impressionist synth burbles, fragmented post-modern ambient and cosmic sci-fi adventure.

PCA tracks composed by Martin Jenkins. 
Recorded and produced  by The Head Technician at Black Mill with assistance from Martin Jenkins.

Not Waving - Protect The Revolution

Daydreaming With A Broken Spine

I am a traveling salesman
I am selling things that no one needs
I travel light, my only help are
These worn out shoes and a grateful smile

I am a tattooed sailor
A wind has carved deep lines in my face
I am tired of whores and I am tired of harbors
I am tired of a million different shades of blue

I am a race driver
Gasoline soaked asphalt, adrenalin and noise
A picture of my mom hanging sheets and singing
Goes through my head each time I face death

I am a coal miner
I am digging in the dark covered in the dust 
Shovel in my hands, anger in my heart 
Everyday again I am blinded by the sun

I am a private eye 
Professional indifference, soul full of scars
I am swimming in a sea of emptiness and pain
Bottle in my desk helps me fall asleep

I am a trapeze artist
I am dancing high above the ground
I am dancing high above the lights
Above the words, above the sounds

On and on this life goes...

1. Daydreaming With A Broken Spine

John Wayne

I am driving slowly in my silver car
The night is full of stars
High heel boots, tons of grease in my hair

My eyes endlessly blue
I smoke too much there is nothing else to do

I eat so little, I never sleep
I always drink alone
The moon, the sun, days and nights

Time is slowly passing
I run in circle, I don't mind

The bills I make someone else pays
Everybody knows my name
Things I say, things I do

No one gets inside of shell 
My own heaven, my own hell

I hate to talk about good old days
I hate to talk at all
Words so useless, so untrue

My eyes endlessly blue
I smoke too much there is nothing else to do

6. John Wayne

7" due early 2016.

Denial - California Dreaming

Ditch

Empathy Test are back with double A-Side ‘Demons / Seeing Stars’, the first taste of the forthcoming debut album. Since releasing their stunning debut EP, ‘Losing Touch’, the enigmatic duo have impressed with their brooding cinematic electro pop sound; winning both critical acclaim and a legion of dedicated fans worldwide. Their music has seen radio support with KCRW, BBC Introducing and XFM and features with MTV, Clash Music, Earmilk and PopMatters amongst others. Isaac Howlett and Adam Relf formed Empathy Test after discovering a mutual love of eighties sci-fi soundtracks, nineties guitar bands and underground dance music. With echoes of CHVRCHES and Purity Ring, their sound has been described as Future Pop, Dark Wave and numerous other variations along similar themes.

The name Empathy Test is taken from the science fiction film Blade Runner. The duo’s artwork is also sci-fi inspired and follows similar themes to the movie, focusing on the basis of consciousness and the relationship between humans and technology. New track ‘Demons’ deals with the human nature of jealousy and how it can destroy a relationship. It explores how some people unconsciously cultivate jealousy in a partner in order to control them. In this all-consuming infatuation, nothing else matters - “and now she wakes up, every day and she invites, all of my demons to play.” It’s a subject that captures the duo’s strength and goes straight for the jugular.

Empathy Test are renowned for captivating their audiences with their branded mix of analogue synth sounds, uplifting melodies and catchy choruses. Live shows take audiences through driving creative rhythms and eighties pop beats, and new single ‘Demons’ is a live favourite amongst fans. While on tour last year, Empathy Test performed at Wave-Gotik- Treffen Festival in Germany, Urban Forest Festival in the UK and headlined Riba Rocks Festival in Spain. They have shared stages with artists such as Bombay Bicycle Club and The Japanese House. Empathy Test are embarking on another European tour that culminates with a show at London’s The Garage in October 2016. If you haven’t already checked out the electro pop prism of Empathy Test’s world then it’s time to acquaint yourself with this amazing new talent.

EMPATHY TEST DEMONS LYRICS:

All of my dreams have flown away
All of my ambition with the wind 
Now you’re here.

I never thought I would be satisfied
With anything I had
Now I’m not so sure.

I waited so long for you
Now you’re here I don’t know what to do
With you.

I went hunting for love
When I thought I’d lose.
I meant to shoot down a dove
Shot an angel instead.
And now she wakes up every day and she invites
All of my demons to play.

Fade in fade out like a musical
Rhythm and rhyme in time
Our heart beats sing
Just to remind you we’re still alive in here.

I waited so long for you
Now you’re here I don’t know what to do
With you.

I went hunting for love
When I thought I’d lose.
I meant to shoot down a dove
Shot an angel instead.
And now she wakes up every day and she invites
All of my demons to play.

Well I love her, I hate her
I abhor her, I adore her 
Just the same, just the same
Just the same, just the same.
Well I love her, I hate her
I abhor her, I adore her 
Just the same, just the same
Just the same, just the same.

Demons | Seeing Stars

Demons

This wasn’t a song directly about Brexit, but it was being written going into the vote in the UK.  At the same time, debates were taking place in the USA about Donald Trump’s potential leadership campaign to be President.

I’ve always had a fascination with political ideas and how they shape the messages that are given to us.  Clearer, throughout history, there are those who have seized upon a given set of circumstances and had the ability to persuade others about the path to follow, sometimes for good and other times with extreme consequences.

The lyrics reflect a feeling that traditional politics are slowly being rejected, but it’s not certain what will replace them.  It’s not supposed to be pessimistic, but asks the question about what comes next – and whether we are headed towards a time that makes it more likely that those with more extreme ideologies will capture the hearts and minds of more and more people.

This compilation was a collective project....assembled by a multitude of different archivists in the community. It represents a sum of concentrated efforts of individuals in restoring old vinyl and tape. We centralized our efforts in collecting old new-wave bent to the synthier side of the 80's. There is also interest in the new artists whose obvious influences were to the analog and synth side of the 80's..... I hate trying to categorize these things....It has been tried to many times before.... However the artists that have spent their own money to put out a record or CD and who have labored over a 4 track recorder to get their ideas across to whoever might listen. Only to produce the best damn music .... never heard ..... This is the spirit we are trying to save.... Recover the lost masterpieces in the way that AMC salvages old celluloid film..... This Compilation represents users and archivists doing the same thing ..... saving the classics...... Please enjoy this work in progress and if you know any of the lost artists..... Please lets get them involved.....

A Compilation of Minimal Wave From Around The World (1980-1991), The Bedroom Tapes features rare, unreleased, and licensed tracks all the way from Belgium to Australia to Japan. The Bedroom Tapes excitedly marks Minimal Wave’s 66th release and is a follow up in the series to The Lost Tapes, The Found Tapes, The Hidden Tapes and of course The Minimal Wave Tapes. The twelve artists on this compilation mostly recorded their music onto 4-track tape in their bedroom studios. The sounds on this record range from German new wave to experimental electronic, to early industrial body music from the Swedish countryside, to dreary melodic minimal synth. The theme is music recorded in the bedroom for listening in the bedroom. The Bedroom Tapes presents songs from Pink Elln, Karen Marks, Disque Omo, Vorgruppe, Iham/Echo, Perfect Mother, Arvid Tuba, Subject, Denial, Unovidual, Aural indifference, and Autumn all lovingly remastered. Limited edition of 999 numbered copies, pressed on 180 gram vinyl, and housed in heavy printed jacket accompanied by printed inner jacket with artists photos and info. Thank you to all the artists and friends for support in making this happen. Vinyl LP release out now, digital to follow.

V/A The Bedroom Tapes

Arvid Tuba "The Seasons Are Sitting On Chairs" from V/A The Bedroom Tapes

The power suddenly seized and the show came to a blistering halt. The cars which had been previously illuminated by the glow of flickering spotlights were suddenly plunged into chaotic darkness as the dodgems froze abruptly on the concourse. The power had tripped, it was a beautiful disaster as the funfair froze for a moment of blissful chaos and drastic hazard. Upon the ferris wheel sat dazed revelers who watched the scene unfold from a perch within the midnight sky...

Medlar returns to Delusions Of Grandeur for the first time since 2015 with a new club focused EP which is set to be heard across dancefloors all summer long.

PREMIERE: Medlar - Tripped [Delusions Of Grandeur]

There was a loud clap in the early morning sky and the birds flew abruptly from the treetops. They were startled, afraid of the rattling noise and the density of the sound. These were the days of thunder, a season of great noise and wild vigour which led to reckless actions and wild adventures. Travelling through the mountain region he looked out upon the road beneath him, it had been a long walk and soon he would find himself atop the highest of all peaks. If the weather allowed of course...
